Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans Team Preview

Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings have two wins in the 2023 IPL, although they have yet to utterly dominate a team. We anticipate a difficult game for the Kings in front of their home crowd.

Punjab Kings made one change ahead of their eight-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday, with Australia’s Matthew Short replacing Sri Lanka’s Bhanuka Rajapaksa. Short barely lasted three balls, but we expect him to receive another chance later in the game.

Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans were defeated by Kolkata Knight Riders after conceding five sixes in the final five balls. Their confidence may be shaken, but they remain a wonderfully gifted team.

Hardik Pandya missed the loss to Kolkata Knight Riders due to illness, therefore Afghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan led the side. Pandya is anticipated to be available for the match and will return to the team to take over as captain.

Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans outfield report

Punjab Kings have batted first in all three matches but have yet to win the toss. If either captain wins the toss ahead of this match, we predict that they will choose to field first.

The match will begin in sunny and clear weather, with no clouds after the sun sets. Throughout the day, temperatures will range from the low 30s to the high 20s.

This is a pitch that keeps bowlers interested while still providing a strong batting surface. We anticipate a par score of more than 185.
